Default Table style defines language (how to change it?) 2007

I was referring to the Normal *paragraph style.* Click Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to
display the Styles pane. Right-click the Normal entry and click Modify
Style. In the dialog box, click Format, Language. What is its setting for
language?

Hi Stefan,
thank you for try.

Try changing the language of the Normal style.

This is the problem... "But I don't see the way how to change it, the menu
under Format button
does not contain Language item as when modifying a paragraph style."

I've used the style inspector and manager and I've found that the language
comes from the table style, so changing the language of whole document,
either in every document or in the Normal template would not work (the
table style would override that).

I'm wondering this is a bug. Not the bad language set, but no UI way to
change the setting.

Cindy does not cover this problem, except the "Note, however, that this
will not affect headers, footers and some other areas that are not
included in a Ctrl+A selection. These will have to be selected and
formatted separately." which brings us back to the problem I have - no way
to format it separately - and "Another possibility is to save in RTF or
HTML-Format, then go into the source code and change/remove the language
formatting." which I particularly did with the docx package itself.
